Go Your Own Way

Chill out
Calm down
Relax: don't give up your control
Sit out
Go back
Start slow; unburden your soul
Don't start up right away
Everybody has to pay
Tell me something I don't know
Sit on back and watch the show
You go your own way;
You go your own way.
You go your own way;
Something's out there calling you,
Doesn't matter what you do.
Shut out
Get back
Be free: it's a game to you and me
Strong will
Strong skill
My arms fit round you like a glove
You can't get on without a plan
There's nothing here you can command
That demon's giving you a jones
That hurt, you feel it in your bones
You go your own way;
You go your own way.
You go your own way;
Something's out there calling you,
Doesn't matter what you do.
You go your own way;
You go your own way.
You go your own way;
Something's out there calling you,
Doesn't matter what you do.
You have your own say;
You have your own say.
You have your own say;
To your own heart, you be true.

Get it Out

Get it out,
Booty make me jump and shout.
In the Big Easy
They got a dance,
Ain't from Chicago,
You know it ain't from France,
All you got to do,
Is shake that thing,
When you shake it harder, baby
It makes me want to sing
Get it out,
Booty make me jump and shout.
You shake your butt,
I'll shake mine,
Put em both together,
You know we'll have a time,
I like the booty,
Right in my face,
Whammy!
Get it out,
Booty make me jump and shout.
You shake your butt,
I'll shake mine,
Put em both together,
You know we'll have a time,
I like the booty,
Right in my face,
Good God!
Get it out,
Booty make me jump and shout.

Funky Way

Something's happening to me now
I will find a way somehow
Rhythm shaking in my soul
Feel just like I'll loose control
The moon is bright now
So get your funk out all night long
Feel me, feel me up and down
It's a funky rhythm in a Mile High town
Rhythm shaking in my soul
Feel just like I'll loose control
The moon is bright now
So get your funk out all night long
Can't sit there and not shake your ass,
Get on up now, groove with the band,
I pledge allegiance, to the funky sound,
Funky-dangerous party music is coming to your town.
The moon is bright now
So get your funk out all night long
La la la la la
All night long

Woman is Bad

The woman is bad.
She won't call me
She won't talk to me
She done put a spell on me.
The woman is bad.
She won't call me
She won't talk to me
She done put a spell on me.
Everytime I see her walking down the street
Saying this and that to everyone she meets
I wanna thank the Lord above, thank him everyday
'Cause the good Lord knows that I get religion
When she gives to me the things that she's giving
The woman is bad.
She don't like my conversation
She don't like the saxophone
She don't dig the things I dig
She leaves me all alone
But every time I see her
Standing in the door
Dressed up like she is
From her head down to the floor
I wanna thank the Lord above, thank him everyday
'Cause the good Lord knows that I get religion
When she gives to me the things that she's giving
That woman is bad.
She wont call me
The woman is bad
She won't talk to me
The woman is bad
She won't call me
The woman is bad

Something is coming 'round the corner
Can you feel it? It's coming without warning
I get it: things are tough all over
When it gets here, do you run for cover?
Love is everywhere.
Love is everywhere
Just how do I know?
I can see it in you
Baby, you make it grow
Stop living your lives in fear
Open your heart to the people who are near
Life's a gift; don't you know that much is true?
Give it away, and it all comes back to you
Can you feel it?
Love is everywhere
Just how do I know?
I can see it in you
Baby, you make it grow

Someday (remastered)
03:48

I've got a message for you, if you are not too tired
It's about the way you walk,
The way you act,
The way you talk.
Your way of doing things seems so uninspired
The game you're running, baby
I'm a second thought
Someday
We'll make our getaway
Sometime
I'm gonna make you mine
Somehow
Let's do what we can now
Someone
A place where we can run
I'm tired of weak, and I'm through with all these games
I'm not the kind to wait 'til you can come around
When all the others left, I'm the one remained
When I'm bailing water, you would let me drown
Someday
We'll make our getaway
Sometime
I'm gonna make you mine
Somehow
We'll do what we can now
Someone
A place where we can run
